[Daniel:]
All to share a gaze upon a window
for which there’s no luxury
of safety, nor opportunity,
nor hope, which you seldom sell me.
To relinquish our dreams under the guise
of a lucky lottery –
how could you spare to inconvenience your comfort?
Could I afford the fear someday?
Could I retain the hope of a false sense?
Are we to swallow a golden dream?
They peer down upon us with
privileged scrutiny.
Eaten alive
Reviving an ageless lie
Eaten alive
An eye for a mind
Eaten Alive
Reviving an ageless lie
Eaten alive
An eye for a mind
A soul for your time
To forget that which we are bled.
To descend, how perfect, we the dead
deliver all our presence.
[Daniel & Kyle:]
I will collapse and never be –
and your will so charitably
given, a life portrayed, displayed
inside a shell which you will never free.
